First two starts for future Grade 1 winner ....

Medaglia D'Oro

Yep.

First two career starts for this hyped Baffert trained speedster..

Never ran at KEE.

Hint: He was rushed into a 9f Derby prep in Ky just 3 weeks after the alw win and flopped as the favorite.

Hint #2: In his eventual next race at Santa Anita .. he and a last out Breeders Cup Classic winner were both on the losing end of a 3-way photo finish in a Grade 1 stakes.

Name this future Grade 1 winner..

point given, yutaka take as the rider in the debut was a dead giveaway

Yep. High Cascade dusted him that day ... though PG obviously wanted no part of 5.5f's

Ok, name this monster. These are his complete lifetime PPs. I know DrugS already knows this because I was a huge fan of this horse, so no answer from him.

One clue, his last race he ran 2nd to a very underrated g1 winner while also beating another g1 into third.

I think Twilight Agenda was the Bel Air winner and Flying Continental was 3rd.

I remember a Gary Jones horse that was fairly fast named Timebank?

Ok, here's a mystery horse. Again, DrugS will know this horse because I've talked to him about this horse. I don't expect anyone else to get this one.

I will say that this was his only start. He was never heard from again.

Oh, and he was also a half brother to a Ky Derby runnerup.

Yep. To Timebank.
The winner was TA, but the show horse was Sea Cadet. I'll post the full PPs for Timebank shortly, he was a remarkable horse.

Gotta be one of the many half-brothers to Best Pal that were hyped almost as much as the Barbaro siblings.

I can only remember American Day and Prosperous Bid, both of whom ran more than once, though.

His sister, Miss Timebank, was decent too. Same connections as Turkoman.

Flying Continental might have been in the overnight stakes that Twilight Agenda ran in prior to the Bel Air. Or he was simply off-the-board.

Nope to Best Pal.

I did think American Day was the second coming of Nureyev though when he broke his maiden. One of the most eye popping turf maiden wins I've ever seen.

Roanoke was a massive horse, once a major prospect for the KY Derby, but he tanked in the Fountain of Youth. Looked like he was gonna step it up a notch at 4 when transfered to Neil Drysdale, but he came back down to earth in the Hollywood Gold Cup (Drysdale also had Prized returning to dirt in there, who faltered badly and did the same in his final start in the Arlington Million).

I'll try again with the full pps for Timebank.

It's amazing the quality of horses he faced in such a short career.

Then it must be a Cavonnier half brother. Since this horse ran before Cavonnier, I won't remember him.

Was it the same connections?

Them was some nice racing years back then. From 85 to 98 was pretty solid.

Nope to CAvonnier too! Right state though!

I forgot to say that his single race made me think Phone Trick.

I need more hints, give me the place and show horse in the maiden race.

Actually, his half brother was third in the KY Derby. Sorry!

2nd in the msw was Westcott. Third was Camouflage Pirate.
